Abstract:
The character and circumstances in Ossetian literature are categories that
determine the essence and characteristics of other categories, moreover, they
testify to the level of artistic and aesthetic maturity of the literary process as
a whole. Ossetian literature, true to its generic property of reflecting the deep
relationships of a person and his environment, constantly focuses its attention on
the artistic and aesthetic study of the multifaceted relationships of the hero and
reality, character and circumstances. It studies the fate of a person in certain socio-
historical circumstances. After all, as a rule, the specific realities of life determine
the life, destiny and character of a person, and in a work of art they form typical
circumstances that create typical characters, defining genre specificity, plot,
artistic and visual features of the work. The maturity of literature was manifested
in the fact that it skillfully and in different genres, at different periods of its
history, showed, how a person is formed, his character is moulded in difficult life
circumstances. It managed to artistically convincingly and reliably reflect the path
of a person to discovering his truly human destiny on earth as a creator of history,
to realizing himself as a subject and object of the historical process. It successfully
showed the process of creative creation and transformation of the national world,
changing human nature itself, enriching the humanistic content of the human
character in the image. In addition, literature has revealed the process of human
comprehension of the movement of life as the acquisition of social and spiritual
and moral experience. At the same time, Ossetian literature tried to deeply
comprehend the innermost meaning of being, its philosophy. And it completely
succeeded in achieving the solution of the task: it came to comprehend the true
purpose of a man as a social being on earth, living in society, among people. We
will try to consider, how Ossetian literature solved such a complex creative task
at different stages of its history and how it enriched the theoretical aspect of the
relationship of characters and circumstances.

Keywords: Ossetian literature, characters and circumstances, hero and reality, novel, story, moral and spiritual search, humanism.
